If the "skill level: beginner to medium" thing was enforced, I'd be interested.

Speaking of blood, have you been blood hunting? I consider it vital for Marignon to save grand masters from old age using boots of youth. Anyways, if you have, you could potentially have someone repeatedly horror seed the province, once they've been boosted or empowered enough to cast it.

I find it pretty pointless to dip into blood magic if you don't have any mages with blood magic to start with (MA Marignon). I don't even recall successfully hunting for blood slaves without a blood mage. But to get enough to empower a mage with it? Doesn't seem realistic.

You can do it. It's not as easy as it was in... Dom2, I think? But it can be done. It helps to find a blood income site, and there are more than a few of those, including thrones. But even if not, you can cobble your way up to 55 and start proper collection.

What's the expectations on playing this? At least once a day? Multiple times a day?

[ThtblovesDF]

We would start with once every 36 Hours, but if there are any issues, we can always delay or move to 48h Hours.

A round is hosted once every person has submited a turn. The last permission to submit can simply wait 1-2 minutes and then receive the next turn, so if you really want to, you can do a double turn once every 72 Hours.

Since we are all such busy adults, I find this quite comfortable.

Alrighty. Sign me up to be trounced

I think I'm ready for a multiplayer game too. How do they work? What is the time limit on how long you have to make your turn?

Answered two posts above had the same question

O, maybe I should have read that most closely, I thought you were asking for the time it takes to play an entire game.

Yeh, in Dom2 bootstrapping into blood was considerably easier since the SDR worked on commanders without blood magic, giving them a kind of "fake" magic level for the sole purpose of hunting. Terribly useful.

But then, Dom2 also had things like fever fetishes, bloodstones and clams. Fun times.

I do actually kinda miss the dominion modifiers you could have... Or was that in 3? I don't remember.

What I do with Marignon is put friars in literally every province and have them blood hunt. They occasionally find stuff, and with so many, it's enough to acquire a fair few blood slaves. It helps that you can recruit friars in every province with a temple, so you don't have to waste fort-turns, just gold.

(And again the main reason is to empower someone to make boots of youth, so Marignon's ancient mages and stuff can stop getting diseases and other afflictions from old age in the middle of wars.)

Friars are great, man. They're stealthy, they got H1 for doing the shit H1 gets to do, they're cheap as sin, they can shuffle troops in a pinch... Just all-in-all wonderful little henchmen to have running around.

LA Marignon really misses out on that, I feel... The Missionary is neither stealthy nor has any real leadership ability. All he's got is the sailing, which is big whoop when all he can lead normally is 10 units.

I won a MP game and I still lose to the AI, its a strange world. Personally, while I enjoyed Dom3 (and had some fun with strange hotseat games [look away for 15 mins dude]), playing MP was certainly what made me stick to dom4.

On that note, super casual near-vanilla Round 23, medium pace - rules basically like round 21, except maybe different throne settings & map, intrest check #2

Round 21:

I haven't tried MP Dominions yet and am interested.

[ThtblovesDF]

I would suggest Middle Age for the game, Map based on players, any special wishes?

[Micro102]

I think I would enjoy single element play styles, as in a battle of the magic paths. But I have a feeling it would be wildly unbalanced.
